Regulatory Requirements
Security Discovery also helps businesses comply with industry regulations and best practices.

Benefits of Security Discovery

In summary, Security Discovery is an essential tool for businesses looking to improve their security posture and protect against cyber threats. As a result of gaining visibility into their IT environment and identifying potential security risks, businesses can take proactive steps to reduce their risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.
